Incredibly slow d/l from ally, still going after 30mins!
Started reading the BK how-to whilst waiting. Had to laugh: Easy Linux !
Almost as difficult as explaining DNA editing to a guy with a degree in Spanish Literature. Been working with computers over half-a-century but eyes started glazing over after l.16 or was it l.23 !
Never easy to talk shop to folks out of one's own loop....
And, just what is the issue about .iso and running as a liveCD? Doesn't get much simpler? If all else fails, that can be installed as FULL or Frugal to other media. Sounds simple to this simpleton.

Seems a lot snappier than Quirky Xerus, but maybe partly due to using a different usb stick. No problems so far.

Yeah, having a fast USB stick can make a huge difference.

Also, if 'q.sfs' got loaded into RAM at bootup, operation will be very snappy. Easy will do that if it decides there is enough RAM, or decides that the USB stick is very slow.
-- so you might be getting snappy performance even with a slow memory stick._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

I downloaded your scripts to compile kernels but didn't have much luck. The scripts seem similar to the Woof scripts but didn't create the VMLinux (I think it was) or didn't put it in the proper place. I don't recall. I'll have to try again and report.

Also, tried multiple times in creating a contact and pw. on your website to PM - I always receive the e-mail pw but it never works when I try to login.

Also, did your Quirky Xerus Kernels support 32bit and 64bit too?

Anyway, thanks for another nice distro. Seems like it's not quite beta yet but a nice start....

...Oh, one last thing: I installed on a USB drive that had already been partitioned with Quirky Xerus. At first boot, Easy started doing its thing and did some automated reformatting of the 2nd partition to get it working right. Scared me at first... I thought it might be installing to my hard drive... but all okay and it ultimately booted properly with no negative affects noted.

I haven't had the opportunity to test VLC. The only change I made compared with Quirky, was added libcrystalhd, that it was reported on the Quirky forum thread is missing.

Try running "vlc" in a terminal, see if it outputs an error msg when try to run a video.

Yes, I understand the scare!
It is pretty safe code though, I doubt that it would do anything bad to your hard drive or whatever. It just fixes the GUID partition tables, and creates a second partition to fill the flash drive.
I could probably cut down the verbosity of it, so no one sees the "scary" bits.

Yes, the Quirky 4.4.x kernel also supports both 32-bit and 64-bit executables, but same problem with missing 32-bit libs.

Aah you were in India?
Came anywhere near Pune, Maharashtra?
You missed Holi, festival of colors which was this week.

Anyway I will test Easy tomorrow.

I was in the north -- Delhi, Rishikesh, Allahabad.

I didn't completely miss Holi, even though I departed on the 8th. I stayed with some Indian friends for a couple of days before flying home, and just before i left for the airport, they smeared some colour on my face and took photos of me -- I was dressed to travel, in my only clean outfit, so grumbled a bit -- but I understand that it is a great celebration in India._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

Okay. I broke the Seamonkey in Container. It worked the first few times and then, nothing. I installed right-click tools; not sure if it created some sort of conflict. Not sure how to boot Seamonkey container without the Menu so she's a goner.... for now.

Already after the above, I changed 12pt to 12px. Seems like it took longer with that fix... maybe I need to reboot first.
